Chapter 293: Boundless Libertinism_1
Cao Zhen instructed Cao Shiyu to sit next to him and comforted her: “No matter what happens tomorrow, maintain your composure. Remember, you are a daughter of the Cao Family, and no one, nothing can defeat you.”
“Dad, I know my limits. At any rate, I won’t disgrace the Cao Family.” Cao Shiyu said resolutely.
Su Hongxing hoping to see her humiliated tomorrow is out of the question!
She couldn’t wait for tomorrow to arrive, to smoothly marry Ye Qilan as his wife.
As long as she marries Ye Qilan, no matter how capable Su Hongxing is, she wouldn’t pose any threat to her anymore.
After conversing with her father for almost an hour, Cao Shiyu finally got up and left his study.
Just as she reached the door, she couldn’t help but look back, finding Cao Zhen with his face full of concerns once again.
It seemed that since a few days ago, Cao Zhen has been , seemingly full of worries. Is he worried about her marriage, or is he worried that Su Hongxing poses a threat to the Cao Family?
She thought that her father’s worries must have a lot to do with Su Hongxing…
Su Hongxing looked around the room full of Ye family members and felt out of place.
The last time she visited the Ye Family’s old house with Ye Qilan, she had seen many members of the Ye Family. Back then, she was still Ye Si’s wife, but now, she was facing the Ye Family members as Ye Qilan’s mistress.
In just over a month, things have changed significantly.
It has to be said: she climbed the social ladder quickly, but fell just as fast.
During dinner, The Ye family members were covertly observing Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing had no appetite. After barely eating, she put down her chopsticks to leave. But, Ye Qilan held her hand and said: “You’ve not eaten enough, have some more!”
Su Hongxing immediately shook off his hand and left without turning back.
The family members of the Ye family looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting a woman brave enough to snub Ye Qilan, who was notoriously overbearing.
After leaving the dining room, Su Hongxing went to the little garden for a leisurely walk, when she came across a stern-looking man.
His entire demeanor exuded a ‘strangers not welcomed’ aura. Judging by his stance, she thought, this man must have once been a soldier.
The man also noticed her. As he turned back to look, their gazes met.
Ignoring her, he passed by her. Unable to hold back, she asked: “Who are you to Ye Qilan?”
Examining the man’s facial features, he appeared quite similar to Ye Qilan.
“I’m Ye Shiqing, Qilan calls me big brother.” Ye Shiqing replied, walking away without looking back.
Su Hongxing watched his retreating figure and suddenly felt that there were still normal people in the Ye Family. Though Ye Shiqing was aloof, he seemed much more normal compared to the crazy relatives of the Ye Family.
“Does Ye Shiqing look that good?” Ye Qilan’s voice interrupted Su Hongxing’s thoughts.
Su Hongxing came to her senses, didn’t reply, and turned around to walk away.
Ye Qilan grabbed her arm: “I asked you a question, answer me: is he better looking than me?!”
So good looking that it made Su Hongxing’s eyes unable to move away from him?
“Yeah, your brother is far better looking than you, I quite like his type of man. Besides, that kind of man, I can tell just by looking at them, they’re very faithful. Nothing like that playboy Ye Si, who is indecent and has no limits.” Su Hongxing tried to shake off Ye Qilan but was gripped even tighter.
“Ye Shiqing already has a woman he likes, give up on him. He will never fall in love with you within this lifetime!” Ye Qilan, under the impression that his suspicion was real, believed that Su Hongxing truly had eyes for Ye Shiqing.
Su Hongxing replied calmly: “Whom he likes is his business, whom I like is my business…”
Before she could finish, her words were silenced by Ye Qilan’s kiss.
